As the end of Term 1 approaches, there is a lot happening in Room 12. This week students completed a range of tests, as part of Year 5 testing. Test books are due to be sent home to parents towards the end of the term. Over the next few weeks there will be an increased focus on NAPLAN preparation, as the tests will be held early in Term 2.

Parent interviews will be held on Tuesday 10 April. Notes were sent home this week with an appointment time for parents/guardians. Note that students will be finishing school at 12pm on that day. Also note that Friday 13 April is a staff development day and a pupil free day for students.

Congratulations to the incredibly ecstatic Morgan for winning the second prize in the school's Easter Raffle. It was fantastic to see the other students cheering for Morgan. We are all thrilled to have a winner from Room 12.

Wishing the students and their families an enjoyable Easter break. Note that students will return to school on Wednesday 4 April.
